Curriculum Intent- RE
At Willen we aim for our Religious Education curriculum to engage, challenge and encourage children, helping them to gain knowledge and skills to be able to explore different religious beliefs, values and traditions. We aim to equip them with an understanding of the religious traditions, beliefs and practices that are followed in our multicultural society. We want our Religious Education to contribute to enabling pupils to combat prejudice, preparing them for adult life, employment and life-long learning.
We follow the Milton Keynes agreed syllabus which aims to grow ‘religious literacy’ so that pupils can be confident in expressing their own religious understanding and respectfully learning from others of different religious backgrounds. The curriculum builds on the skills and knowledge that the children acquire. We aim to enrich the curriculum through visits from local faith groups, through assembly reflection and looking at places of worship in our local area.
Right to withdrawal:
Families wishing to withdraw their child from all or part of the RE curriculum should contact the Headteacher.
